Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing 

On April 17, 2025, Zeo Energy Corp. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with periodic requirements for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 10-K”) was not filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the required due date of March 31, 2025. This Letter received from Nasdaq has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s shares.

Under Nasdaq rules, the Company now has until Monday, June 16, 2025, to submit a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, Nasdaq may grant an exception until Monday, October 13, 2025, as instructed by the Letter, to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, there can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the Company’s plan to regain compliance or, if accepted, that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s rules by October 13, 2025. The Company intends to take the necessary steps to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules by filing the 2024 10-K as soon as practicable.
